Creating Certificates for Network Devices with Microsoft Cloud PKI: Your Alternatives and Solutions

Are you searching for a solution to create and manage certificates for network devices with Microsoft Cloud PKI? Unfortunately, Microsoft Cloud PKI does not support network devices certificates. By design it only supports Intune managed devices, only.

The Gap in Microsoft Cloud PKI

While Microsoft Cloud PKI works seamlessly with endpoints via Intune, it leaves critical gaps for cross-platform environments, including:

Network device certificates for secure network and system authentication.
IoT certificates for a diverse array of connected devices.
Non-Intune MDM support, such as Jamf Pro, Google Workspace, and other third-party solutions.

These limitations create challenges for organizations that need robust, cross-platform Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to secure their modern infrastructure.
